The onlookers all gasp and gossip that the suicider didn't understand life at all, that they couldn't deal with the pressures of life, that life was too much for them. What they don't know however, is that the one who committed suicide was so sure of life, understood life so well, dealt with the pressures of life as they saw fit, that they saw no reason to live any longer.

Wow . I mean ... I'm not exactly sure if you honestly believe these things to hold truth , or if you just think it's an interesting point of view. But , thats ridiculous. Seriously . I read a little Camus back in the day , but not for long. Too much of that crap can be bad for you. Thats like reading Kant lol . Anyway . Suicide is the easy way out for some. Nobody will ever completely "understand" life. "Oh , I get it now . Now I understand life . No reason to live anymore , where are my razor blades?" .. Come on ..
